Between the weekend BMQ and the full time BMQ i would take the full time one if I were you for many reasons.

1)The actual course will be more challenging because it is non stop
2)you dont have to worry about school at the same time
3)you will have some (not alot mind you) time off during the evenings where as on the part time BMQ they push you as hard as they can and you can burn out because you dont have any down time for 12 days straight (5 days of school, 2 days of training 5 days of school 2 days off)

I am a 17 year old reservist who is about to do his fall,weekend BMQ from Feb 9th to June 1st. Could you tell me how it differs from summer, full time BMQ and what I could expect. How long are the days? What days do I train on? What if you miss a week because your sick or injured etc.? Also any tips on getting through it would help to. Thanks

Also, in addition to reserve BMQ training, what other things (types and training and such) are/can be compleated throughout the year and during the summer?

thanks again

Hi,

Im 15, and like Jeff, im also interested in joining the reserves when I am of age. But, I am unsure of somethings. So, if I am correct (Im still very unsure), Reserve training takes place throughout the year a few times a week, yes? And during the summer months, BMQ is done? Im wondering if the BMQ that would be compleated in the Reserve, summer month training is transferable to full time CF BMQ. Is all the training exactly the same, it just takes longer? Im just wondering if I join the reserves, will I have to compleate all the Full time CF forces training again?

Thanks

BMQ dont need such effort , all what you need to be able to do is the basics .

20 push ups , run 2-3 km and you should be ok .

after that it’s training , it’s a progressive thing even if you are weak you can make it , it’s more a mental thing than a physical thing .

because in the army during your courses its a 18hr/job/day , you are always on .

so you need to push your self to your limits and never give up , its very hard but after accomplishing it you feel very proud of your self .

get double of the kit you need make sure you have inspection kit then the kit you actually use. thats socks toothbrush toothpaste soap and soap dish underwear. basic is more of a shock to the system. if u think u wanna quit thats just normal. dont quit until you are done your trade training.
